In this episode we speak with Alanna who is expecting her second baby and is in the third trimester.
We chat about preparing for parenthood including:
- what she's learnt from the process of becoming a parent the first time round
- her mental health struggles in the postpartum period with her first baby
- how she and her partner decided it was time to try for baby number two
- body image during pregnancy with the added challenge of skin eczema
- what she's expecting motherhood with two children will be like.

This episode discusses mental health challenges in the postpartum period. If you yourself are in any need of help, please reach out to PANDA at https://panda.org.au/
